Schermerhorn in for sixth term as L&A warden Greater Napanee mayor acclaimed to county’s top political post for 2015 at inaugural meeting BY SETH DUCHENE Editor

Lennox and Addington’s longestserving warden can tack one more year onto his total. Last Wednesday night at the county council’s inaugural meeting, Greater Napanee Mayor Gord Schermerhorn was selected

to be L&A’s warden for 2015 by his county council colleagues. Loyalist Mayor Bill Lowry and Stone Mills Reeve Clarence Kennedy nominated Schermerhorn for the position; no other council members sought the post. The upcoming term will be Schermerhorn’s sixth as warden of L&A, having already served in 1998-1999, 2008-2009 and last

year. Schermerhorn, after accepting the chain of office from Justice Geoff Griffin, said he was “proud to be nominated” for the position once again. “Working together, we as a council have addressed many issues. I’m proud of our accomplishments, and the future is promising,” Schermerhorn said.

Council won’t challenge location of new methadone clinic BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Greater Napanee council voted to take a pass on challenging the establishment of a new methadone clinic in town. Concerns regarding the proposed clinic opening in Greater Napanee were brought to council’s attention at its regular meeting Tuesday night. The clinic is to be located in a building adjoining the Kawartha Credit Union Limited. Pete Waller spoke to council on behalf of the Credit Union, stating why the location is not ideal for a methadone clinic. He said the clinic might be operational this month and all attempts to work with the building’s landlords on the issue have been unsuccessful. Waller asked council to pass an interim control bylaw to verify which types of clinics should be allowed in each area in Greater Napanee. After discussing the

issue in open session, council took the matter into closed session later in the meeting. It was during that portion of the meeting that council passed a resolution to take no action on the request, Greater Napanee Clerk Susan Beckel told The Beaver. “Our branch location is zoned commercial, which allows for many different types of businesses, including everything that is defined under the broad term ‘medical clinic’,” Waller told council in his presentation. Methadone clinics are currently defined as medical clinics and are permitted within commercial zoning areas. “Kawartha Credit Union believes that there is a need for methadone clinics. Unfortunately, many people that have succumbed to additions… do not act in a rational manner, resulting in vandalism (and) violence,” he said. Waller said some of the neighbouring small businesses have expressed concerns to Credit Union staff,

stating they don’t feel safe conducting deposits at a bank so close to a methadone clinic. Waller said their security company has already hired another security officer to be present when large security deposits are being made. “In some areas where methadone clinics have been located, we have seen breakins in cars, homes, and businesses. Our branch has a significant portion of seniors as part of our membership base. In fact, 33 per cent of our members are over the age of 60,” said Waller. “We’ve had a number of these members express concerns for their personal safety with the emergence of the clinic in the same building.” Deputy Mayor Marg Isbester asked municipal staff and council whether they even have the “authority” to pass a bylaw to stop the methadone clinic from opening. “We have the authority but I’m always worried about the consequences,” replied Mayor Gord Schermerhorn. “I understand your problem that you have,” he said to Waller.

Schermerhorn also said that the county would need “strong representation” on the regional Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus. Schermerhorn thanked county staff for their contributions, and said he and council would be counting on them in 2015. “I am very proud of our county staff, who work hard to support county council. We are able to work together as a team and get things done.” L&A County council also used the first meeting of the new term to select its committee representatives for the upcoming year. Elections were required for both the L&A Economic Development Coalition and for the Prince Edward-L&A

Social Services committee. Isbester and Loyalist Deputy-Mayor Ric Bresee beat out Yanch and Kennedy for the two available spots on the Economic Development Coalition board. Kennedy and Yanch, meanwhile, were picked to be council’s representatives on the PELASS committee over Addington Highlands Reeve Henry Hogg. Lowry was selected to serve on the Kingston, Frontenac, L&A Public Health board, while Stone Mills Deputy-Reeve Eric Smith will by the county’s representative on the L&A County General Hospital board. Hogg will serve on the Algonquin Land Claim municipal advisory committee, while Isbester will serve on the PELASS housing advisory committee. Yanch and Kennedy will both sit on the county’s joint accessibility committee. Lowry will serve on the Lafarge Community Liaison Committee, while Isbester will sit on the L&A Seniors Outreach Services board.

NDSS business student William Ilies (left) is presented with a cheque for $50 from L&A economic development officer Rob Plumley for winning a recent online entrepreneurial contest.

NDSS student wins online business award Entrepreneurial contest part of program sponsored by Limestone Learning Foundation BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

A savvy virtual business plan paid off in the real world for Grade 9 Business student William Ilies, as he earned $50 by conquering the NDSS Business Competition. Using a program called Virtual Business, the challenge saw eight students compete to see who could earn the most profit over a one week span while operating a virtually simulated grocery store. The amount of ‘customers’ that visited the store was based on the store’s location, prices, customer service, merchandise and promotion. The software recognizes which users have adapted the best strategy and will send ‘shoppers’ to those stores. For example, should a user try to cut corners by not hiring enough staff, customers will likely avoid that store. At the same time hiring more staff than is needed will drain their virtual budget. Students were challenged to use everything they learned in business class and apply it to a very tangible, albeit computer

simulated, situation. They were able to play online in the same city and compete for the same customers. Mistakes in strategy meant the customers would avoid their store and shop at their competitors. “I was doing OK in the beginning, but the competition began to rise,” said Ilies. “Another person joined and my customers started to go to other stores. I started going negative (in revenue).” Thinking quickly, he began to strategically place billboards across the virtual city. “Promotions and advertising were the biggest thing,” said Ilies. Too much, however, will drain the budget. That’s what fellow student Brock Vale learned while paying the game. He ended up spending too much on advertising, negating all profits. That was of benefit to Ilies however, as the increased advertising of Vale’s stores began to pull customers away from his biggest competitor, allowing Ilies to become the first student to earn a profit of $20,000 over four weeks of game time. “It’s a very good teach-

ing tool,” added Ilies. “You could see and visualize what the business world is like. You learn the risks and things that could happen when you run your own business.” The students had a chance to do a bit of training before entering the week-long competition, which was held over the lunch period for the weeks of Nov. 24 to Dec. 1. As winner of the showcase competition Ilies was presented with a $50 cheque from Lennox and Addington economic development officer Rob Plumley on Monday. The competition was organized by NDSS Business teacher Nancy Savage. She was able to obtain the software courtesy a grant from the Limestone District Learning Foundation. While the competition was held as an extracurricular activity, Savage says the software will become part of her course at the Grade 10 level. For the class project, students will be put in charge of managing a stadium where they will again try to generate profit while adjusting variables such as staff, concessions and ticket prices.

HCTH’s mission going strong in Peru

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Helping Cope Through Hope founders Tom and Cheryl Martin have recently come home from Peru where four more children have been sponsored and a number of new projects are underway. Through HCTH, the Martins have helped to sponsor 31 children in Peru, and even more in Africa. They were in Peru for about five weeks, returning home in early December. A handful of local volunteers travelled to Peru with the HCTH organization, one of which formed a special bond with a boy named Juan. A family of three, with an eight-year-old son named Mateo, decided to sponsor an eight-year-old boy in Peru with hopes that the two boys could meet one day. Mateo and his parents travelled to Peru with the Martins to meet their sponsor child, Juan, which was a beneficial experience for both boys. “Mateo showed Juan a

game and they played together. He took Juan to the market and bought him things, they really got to be close,” said Tom. “They were there 10 days but he made a big impact on Juan’s life,” added Cheryl. Mateo and Juan got along so well that Mateo’s parents have already booked tickets to return to Peru again next year with Tom and Cheryl. “Shortly after they left, we went to see Juan and this little boy came running like he always does and jumped into my arms and all he said was said, ‘Mateo, me extraño Mateo,’ which means, ‘I miss Mateo,’” said Tom. Another sponsor child’s life was drastically changed while Tom and Cheryl were in Peru: a girl named Millie, who is now 16, and been a part of Tom and Cheryl’s lives for more than 10 years. “These kids are more than just sponsored children, they’re like our own kids, almost. We’ve supported them for five to 10 years — we’ve supported Millie for 10 years but

we’ve known her longer than that. She’s finishing high school now, we’re not going to say, ‘well, she’s finished high school, I guess that’s all we can do,’ especially when her mom is a single mother. We’re not going to see her stop after Grade 11,” said Tom. The Martins left Millie a small laptop to help her with school and to encourage her to pursue post-secondary education, which left her shocked and thankful. “She came up to our room and I had the computer there. I said, ‘Millie, do you have a computer?’ and she said, ‘No, but sometimes I need a computer for school so I use a friend’s computer, but I don’t have one,’” said Tom. “I told her I wanted to show her a few things on the computer; basically I wanted to show her that the computer worked. Then I said, ‘Millie, this computer is yours. We’re leaving it for you.’ She just stood there with her mouth open; basically she was in shock.” On top of that, Tom and Cheryl were able to provide running water, plumbing,

and funds to build a bathroom for Millie’s mother through funds provided by the HCTH organization. “They just have a hole in the ground for a bathroom and have to walk outside, through the steps in the dirt to a hole in the ground,” said Tom. “They don’t even have water yet. We paid for the plumbing to connect to the water so they’ll have flush toilets for the first time in their life and be able to

have a shower.” Tom and Cheryl also left money for another family to build a house, and money for different family to build a large extension on their existing home. In addition to that, Tom and Cheryl distributed clothing and supplies to those living in poor communities. “We try to change lives and try to improve lives,” said Cheryl. “We really get involved in their lives.” Tom and Cheryl will be

leaving for Africa on Jan. 6 for another mission trip. For more information, or to support HCTH, visit www.helpingcopethroughhope.org. A number of Christmas gifting options are available through HCTH, starting at $10. Gifts range from providing a family with a chicken, mattress, bicycle, backpack and school tuition, medical needs, or the annual cost of a child’s sponsorship for $360.

EDITORIAL

Picturing Our Community

‘Politics as usual’ can be ugly For those who follow politics, the past few days have surely been disheartening. We’re referring to the upcoming provincial byelection in Sudbury. If you’ll remember, the seat was vacated when NDP MP Joe Cimino resigned after only about five months on the job. The former Liberal candidate in that election, Andrew Olivier, who finished just less than 1,000 ballots behind Cimino in the June 12 vote, had intended to throw his hat back into the ring after hearing that a byelection was in the offing. That’s where the story starts to turn, well, disheartening. The Ontario Liberal Party got in touch with Olivier to let him know that they’d rather he not let his name stand to become the party’s candidate in the riding. Olivier also alleges — an allegation the OLP denies — that he was offered a “job or an appointment”, according to the Toronto Star, in exchange for withdrawing his name from consideration. If that allegation is true, it’s disheartening to say the least. It certainly merits a full investigation. Since that allegation broke, however, we’ve found out who the provincial Liberals’ preferred candidate is: current federal NDP MP for Sudbury, Glenn Thibeault. While this doesn’t technically amount to ‘crossing the floor’, it was certainly enough for the federal NDP to label Thibeault a “turncoat.” Many are speculating that, if Thibeault can win for the provincial Liberals in Sudbury, a cabinet post could be coming his way. Even if it’s that’s not the case, it would suggest that Thibeault, fearing a collapse of support for the federal NDP in the upcoming election, is hoping to extend his political career by at least a few more years by heading to the Ontario legislature and joining the ruling Wynne government there. There are, obviously, two troubling aspects to all of this. The first and certainly most important aspect is the alleged enticement given to Olivier to stay out of the race. If true, it represents an intolerable example of government corruption. The second is the fact that we’re seeing people trade parties in exchange for career advancement. That’s certainly not a new phenomenon. The most glaring instances include Belinda Stronach leaving the federal Conservative Party for Paul Martin’s Liberal government, where a cabinet post was waiting for her; or David Emerson, the Liberal MP and former cabinet minister who, a matter of weeks after being elected as a Liberal, jumped over to the Stephen Harper’s Conservative government, where a cabinet post was waiting for him. It’s easy to chalk this up to business-as-usual politics. However, we should resist that simple assessment. While politicians should never be completely lock-step with their parties — our MPs and MPPs must be able to exercise some elbow room in order to effectively represent their constituents — when they can abandon their party at the apparent drop of a hat, we have to wonder about where their priorities lie. Are they really willing to set aside their presumably deeply-held, shared beliefs with their party for a seat at the cabinet table with another party? It seems the answer is ‘yes’. And it’s disheartening.

Letter to the Editor

Newburgh show a success, once again We wanted to drop a line to express our deep appreciation to all the people who attended the 35th Annual Community Christmas Concert on Saturday in Newburgh. We had two full houses and people were overwhelming with their support. We thank those who were unable to get into the afternoon show for their effort and hope many came back for the evening show. There were gasps, tears and cheers when the money was counted; we collected $14,050.00 in donations. Just over $4,000 of this came from some wonderful organizations and businesses in our area. However, to have almost $10,000 come from the pockets of individuals is truly overwhelming. We have such a loving and giving community. We helped out just over 140 children and their families who live in our community. This Christmas all these children will come down the stairs to see lots

of presents under the tree including new PJs, a set of clothing, new socks, underwear, hats and mitts and toys and gifts picked out especially for them. It would not be possible to guarantee every cent donated can go to the children if not for the generosity of local businesses like McKeown and Wood Fuels, Battlefield Equipment Napanee, King Sound Equipment, Lennox Community Theatre and the many businesses who supply Santa’s goodies to the children when Santa visits at the show. Thanks as well to the staff of Newburgh Public School who are so accommodating, and to Limestone School Board who continue to support our community effort. Also thanks to Frontenac L&A Family and Children’s Services who compile the list of children for us each year.

COMMENT / 7

B E AV E R

Reflections on 50 years as a columnist Editor’s Note: It is not without some sadness that we announce that, after 14 years, ‘Outdoor Rambles’ columnist Terry Sprague is wrapping up his regular column in The Napanee Beaver. Sprague has also been a regular contributor to our sister publication, The Picton Gazette, for five decades. Sprague’s rocksolid writing about nature and the environment in our region was a fantastic addition to our publication. As a bonus, Sprague never once missed a deadline — always an editor’s joy! We at the Beaver would like to thank Sprague for his wonderful contributions to the paper, and wish him all the best moving forward. ot enough people remember the late Phil Dodds. Phil was a tireless volunteer who was active in service clubs, was a familiar face at Picton Fair every year, and very involved with the horticultural society. With his “make the world a little better and more beautiful, because you have lived in it” motto, Phil always struck me as a pioneer in these efforts. Phil was also editor of The Picton Gazette, a position he obtained at the young age of 26, and held until his retirement in 1969, at the age of 61. His column, “Phil-ing-in” always inspired me, for in it, he would promote his beautification message and report sightings of birds that he had seen in his Cherry Valley backyard. As a result, we became good friends, swapping sightings and it wasn’t

long before he started incorporating these into his column, or made them into little news items or fillers. One day in early 1965, Phil dropped a bombshell. “Why don’t you write a weekly nature column?” I declined, claiming that I couldn’t even form a complete thought weekly, never mind a column. I was only 20 years of age. He replied, “Nonsense”, and ordered me to have something to him Monday morning. And, I did – but, because Phil never really specified how many columns I should write, or when I should stop, I continued to submit columns weekly for 50 years! In total, 2,600 columns! The columns knew no bounds when it came to their headings. Originally, called, simply, ‘Outdoors’, it left an open door for a wide range of outdoor topics. ‘Talking at Random’ expanded the possibilities even further. For a while there was ‘Sandscript’, written on behalf of Sandbanks Park where I worked, then ‘PERCA Update’ when I was employed with the Prince Edward Region Conservation Authority, then ‘Conservation Corner’ when I moved to Quinte Conservation. In more recent years, it has been ‘Outdoor Rambles’. Since 2001, the column has also appeared in the Picton Gazette’s sister paper, the Napanee Beaver. There have been several editors, and one editor many years ago, suggested that I should make the column more controversial. Clearly, the original

Terry Sprague

Outdoor Rambles intent of the column had sailed right over his head. I made it a policy through the years to avoid controversial issues, because you never win. I learned that lesson in the 1970s when I entered a debate in my column that dragged on for a year with a resident north of here. He felt predators should be exterminated — not extirpated, but wholesale exterminated, because he was a staunch believer in childhood storybook fables and openly said so. Where do you begin with someone like that? So I purposely stayed away from getting extensively involved in controversial issues. I would state my opinion, and then quietly move on to another subject the following week. After all, the main purpose of the column was to gently introduce readers to nature in a thought provoking, yet sensitive fashion. That seemed like the best approach. Let the readers find their way with a little guidance.

As a columnist, I became more knowledgeable about the world around us. Needing to come up with new material weekly, it was mandatory that I get out there and learn new things, then write about them and impart any new found wisdom to the readers. I certainly hope by doing so that I inspired them, for they certainly inspired me with their phone calls, letters and e-mails about their own discoveries. In this process, however, I learned that we can never expect to know everything; we are always learning. How incredibly boring it would be if the day ever arrived when we knew everything about nature. All the excitement in nature that lures us to the pursuit would suddenly vanish. I hope if the column accomplished anything at all, it stimulated not only an interest in the natural world around us, but also an appreciation of nature, and how important it is to our very survival as a human race. So many of us just don’t get that. We cannot continue treating the natural world as an annoyance that gets in the way of development. We must learn to treat it as a dynamic part of us that needs to be preserved and conserved. If we are to survive on this planet at all, we need to embrace the natural world and treat it with the respect that it deserves. In my 50 years as a columnist, I have seen so many changes. I have seen populations of tree swallows, barn swallows,

bobolinks, plants, animals, plummet to a fraction of the population they were when I started out. I have seen invasive species like zebra mussels, buckthorn, dog strangling vine and numerous others destroy our native species. We did all this, with our meddling, and without batting an eyelash. Surely we can do much better, before it is really too late. I have met so many naturalists through the years, many of whom I considered friends and mentors. There was Peterborough Examiner columnist, Doug Sadler; Trentonian columnist from the 1960s, Orval Kelly; author Fred Bodsworth, the list goes on. Regrettably, I never got a chance to meet my most respected author, Farley Mowat, although I was a close friend of his father, Angus, when he lived at Northport, which gives you some idea of my vintage. Today marks the very last column encompassing an amazing career, all due to Phil Dodds, 50 years ago, insisting that I have a column on his desk Monday morning for Wednesday’s paper. The success and longevity of the column I owe to you, the readers. Thank you so much for supporting it all these years! A merry Christmas to everyone and the very best to all of you in 2015.

Remembering the message of Christmas

Christmas concert cast and crew shopping at Target in Kingston on Sunday. LETTER FROM PAGE 6

A very special mention to Target Department Store in Kingston. A pack of crazy shoppers showed up there on Sunday morning at 8 a.m. and were greeted by a truly amazing staff who were invaluable as we shopped for 140 kids. Shirley and Andrew rang through $13,000 worth of articles with a smile. To Jeff who made all the arrangements and even gave us a discount, we are indebted to you. Target also donated wrapping paper so that parents could even wrap their gifts without expense. Lastly, to the cast and crew of 30 who have to rearrange family commitments, sports and work to write scripts, find costumes and props and come to rehearsals, as well as spending up to six hours shopping the day after the concert, you are a wonderful example of unselfish giving to those in need. For 35 years, the Community Christmas Concert has been sharing the Christmas Spirit with our Community and truly loving every minute of it. Our hearts are overflowing. We hope everyone has a year filled with joy, love and peace. Mae Wood, Director/Producer Community Christmas Concert

As we busily engage in this holiday season of good-will, is it possible to slow down and to reflect on our Christmas memories? Looking back on Christmas at Manitoulin Island my home of origin I recall with fondness buying presents at the one and only local store in our village of 300 people. I remember trying to bravely sing carols at the local outpost hospital with our Sunday School class and experiencing both fear and wonder in that setting, getting up a pageant with our Sunday School teachers and marvelling at all the details involved. All of these memories take me back to a simpler time and place, when Christmas was so very marvelous — it seemed that it took forever to come, and that it all mysteriously happened while we kids played, anticipated, wrote down what presents we wanted, and tried desperately to be good. With hindsight, now I know all the effort that went into it all. I’m both amazed and embarrassed at how little we kids actually used to do to get ready, and how much was actually given to us — fabulous dinner, plenty of gifts, family gathering, skating on the frozen lake,

lots of laughs and a safe and secure haven in which to grow up. Mostly, I’m thankful for the gift of my faith in God, and for the fact that in life, in death and in life beyond death that God is with us all. My mom insisted on a religious emphasis for every season, allowing us all at a very young age to learn that gifts were given because of the gift of the Christ Child who was given gifts of gold frankincense and myrrh, and to also realize that family is a gift from God and that sacred family ties must be preserved and honoured. Now at the advanced age of 64 years, I ponder anew the miracle of Christmas every year, and wonder just how Jesus Christ would like us to celebrate His birthday. In a season when we are tempted to overspend, hide away in eating and partying, when nerves are frayed and when tensions run high it is a good idea to pause and to examine that first Christmas. When two frightened young parents gave birth to the Saviour in a barn, were visited by shepherds, wise men and angels and then had to flee for their lives. The joyous birth is overshadowed by an element

of fear and an element of suffering as the little boy does grow up to face the agony of death on a cross at the tender age of 33 years. It’s important to let the Christ child grow up and to let Him handle our fears, and our suffering, and our doubts along with our joys, so that Christmas can become a time of renewal and a stepping stone to guide us through the joys and the sorrows of life on earth. Letting Christ grow up and grow in our hearts frees us to decide and to respond to His ideas and ideals and to risk shaping our lives so they reflect our faith in God. May our Christmas celebrations be a life long process of responding to God and opening ourselves to new possibilities and may God bless us all. In closing, my husband Allan and myself offer our most sincere wishes and prayers for a wonderful and spiritual Christmas season that will be a tribute to God. Thank you one and all for your kindness, hospitality, prayers and support as we serve God in your area until March 1, 2015, God-willing with the arrival of permanent full-time clergyperson. Rev. Elaine Kellogg

Letter to the Editor

Sprague got it right on wind turbines I applaud the Nov. 27 ‘Outdoor Rambles’ column. It should be required reading for every politician both provincially and municipal in Ontario It is amazing how one man can put our wasteful and dangerous turbine and solar plants into easily understandable context with costs, damage to

nature, birds and other creatures that grace our land. Many of these are here and have been for a long time, nesting and re-creating and living among us safely for many years. Now we are allowing them to be killed or driven away to make room for the atrocious towers and solar

panel ‘farms’ — not that they are FARMS. Good for you Terry. Remember at last year’s council meeting at South Fred where hundreds of home owners here let council know in a loud and clear voice that we will not be willing hosts. Bruce Colling, Greater Napanee

A trip through the pages of The Napanee Beaver 50 Years Ago December 16, 1964 n Lennox and Addington County was in the throes of a rabies outbreak. Local veterinarians said that they were seeing about double the number of rabies cases they’d typically see in the county. The disease attacks wildlife as well as dogs, cats and farm animals. It can also be spread to humans, and if left untreated is fatal. To date, rabies had claimed one bull, one cow, four heifers, three foxes, a calf, two dogs and one sow. There were other animals under observation. n Napanee Industries announced that it had just signed a $2 million contract to build new railway cars. “As soon as the railway examined and tested our first cars and satisfied themselves that Napanee Industries Ltd. could deliver highest quality railway cars on a daily basis, the Canadian Pacific Railway Company awarded us a further order,” said company president Allan Campbell. He credited the “workmanship” of his staff for building the high-quality railway cars. Campbell said that a possible strike in the steel industry might throw a wrench in the company’s production plans.

35 Years Ago December 19, 1979 n Ontario Communications Minister James Snow announced that a review of the Community Telephone Company’s planned rate increase would move ahead. The announcement came after considerable public outcry and after local MPPs James Taylor and Earl McEwen registered their disapproval of the rate hike. Taylor told the minister that he hoped that the province would provide a “sharper focus” on the issue and that the Ontario Telephone Services Commission would look carefully at whether the proposed rate hike was reasonable. n The incoming chair of the L&A County Board of Education said that he and his fellow trustees had no shortage of big issues facing them in the upcoming year. Some of the challenges included an anticipated drop in both enrolment and in provincial government grants. As a result, he said, the board might be forced to conduct layoffs or raise local property taxes. With a significant drop in enrolment, new chair Roy McDannold said that the board could expect to see their provincial grants fall by as much as $1 million for the upcoming year.

Reading challenges Jan. 1 brings with it both a plenty of challenges for the new year and an abundance of resolutions. These are often connected for readers, many of whom — library staffers included — make reading resolutions. I’ve written past columns about the benefits of a reading challenge; they can stretch your reading, whether the intention is to push you to read more of your TBR (‘to be read’) list, more classics, more new releases, different genres, or just simply to read more. In 2011, Goodreads (www.goodreads.com) launched a yearly ‘reading challenge.’ Each year you can set your goal number of books and Goodreads will encourage you to keep on track. If you resolve to read more in 2015, this tool will definitely have you reading in greater volume. However, if the sheer thought of forcing yourself to read to meet a certain quota gives you anxiety, there are all kinds of reading challenges people set for themselves, and they’re not always based on numbers. Some decide they’re going only read fiction, or read more books from a genre they are unfamiliar with, or read all of the books on The Globe 100 list. The possibilities are endless. Book Riot (www.bookriot.com), one of the most popular blogs for booklovers, came up with a pretty wellrounded challenge for its readers in

Catherine Coles Coles’ Notes 2015. “As many of us here resolve to read more diversely, in any number of ways, we thought it would be a good idea to come up with our own reading challenge for 2015 to help you stretch your reading limits,” they stated. Their challenge includes 24 tasks, averaging out to two per month that will hopefully inspire you to pick up books that represent experiences and places and cultures that might be different from your own: n A book written by someone when they were under the age of 25 n A book written by someone when they were over the age of 65 n A collection of short stories n A book published by an indie press n A book by or about someone that identifies as LGBTQ n A book by a person whose gender is different from your own n A book that takes place in Asia n A book by an author from Africa n A book that is by or about someone from an indigenous culture (Native Americans, Aboriginals, etc.) n A microhistory n A YA novel

n A sci-fi novel n A romance novel n A National Book Award, Man Booker Prize or Pulitzer Prize winner from the last decade n A book that is a retelling of a classic story n An audiobook n A collection of poetry n A book that someone else has recommended to you n A book that was originally published in another language n A graphic novel, a graphic memoir or a collection of comics of any kind n A book that you would consider a guilty pleasure n A book published before 1850 n A book published this year n A self-improvement book No one is keeping score and there are no points to post but if you complete this challenge, you will no doubt finish 2015 as a more well-rounded reader. “We like books because they allow us to see the world from a new perspective,” Book Riot posted. “Sometimes we all need help even know which perspectives to try out. That’s what this is — a perspective shift — but one for which you’ll only be accountable to yourself.” Catherine Coles is the manager of library services for Lennox and Addington County.

If you are celebrating the Christmas tradition, chances are you have a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;todoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; list that includes picking up a poinsettia or two for the holidays. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping that by the end of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column, you will have a deeper appreciation for the one â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;livingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; item that may be on your list this season and one of the few gifts that does not require batteries.

Mark Cullen The Green File For those of us whose Christmas celebrations and decorating begin long before Dec. 25th, the poinsettia is one of the few plants that will provide reliable colour. And like the batteries it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need, it lasts. And lasts. Sometimes it outlasts our desire to keep it alive. On many occasions I have met people who feel conflicted between preserving the poinsettia for another year and tossing it on the compost come February or March. I am inclined towards the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;compostingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; group as the red-bracted plant does not have a place in my spring and summer garden. It may interest you to know that the poinsettia you buy today is much improved from the original

species that was imported to the U.S. from its native Mexico in 1828. The annual â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;poinsettia trialsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; this year included over 50 varieties and concluded with 14 hand-picked specimens as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;winnersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Over the past 20 years, these North American trials, which include an important contribution from the research station in Vineland, Ontario, have produced over 200 varieties which show improvements over each previous generation of poinsettia. In short, yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poinsettia is todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foundation for a better performing plant. Another interesting note is that the price of poinsettias has not gone up appreciably for more than 20 years. This reflects the vast improvement in production processes and an increasingly competitive market. I am pleased to report that most of the poinsettias sold in Canada are grown here: the same cannot be said about many cut flowers, and, in particular, roses. The latter were a huge economic generator for Canadians a generation ago but are now, alas, almost all imported from abroad. Where from? The poinsettia is native to the Taxco del Alarcon region of Mexico. In 1828, Joel Poinsett, the first ambassador from the United States to Mexico, was touring the countryside when he spotted the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;euphorbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the highlands. The air was dry and evenings were cool, producing the euphorbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now

well-known signature red upper leaves, or bracts. He sent a sample home to be grown in his greenhouse in Greenville, South Carolina. The rest, you could say, is history. Except for the aforementioned improvements on the original plant. While the poinsettia is named after Mr. Poinsett, the native people of Mexico deserve credit for using the bracts to produce a purple dye for cosmetics and textiles. The white sap, now called latex, was used to treat fevers. Today the myth that poinsettias are poisonous still persists, in spite of efforts to dispel it. The truth is that many tests over the last 50 years have proven that the plant and its sap are not poisonous, so there are generally no worries where either your cat or youngsters are concerned. However, some people are naturally allergic to latex and should not go near a poinsettia or, for that matter, any member of the euphorbia family. Welcome to the Family The poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) is a member of a large family of plants that includes over 2,000 cactus and succulent species. They have a white liquid sap (the latex) in common and a tendency to grow upper leaves that turn colour when days get short. These bracts are what we enjoy each Christmas. The flower is actually a non descript yellow thing that springs from a peasized green bud in the middle of the bract spray. When shopping for long-

lasting poinsettias, avoid the specimens that are in flower and seek out the ones with the green peas in the middle of the red leaves. When you bring your poinsettia home, follow my five tips for poinsettia care: n Make your poinsettia pick-up the last on your shopping trip. They do not like a cold car (or anything cold). n For best performance indoors, place your poinsettia in a bright room or window: remember that they originated in the dessert and love sunshine. n Keep from drafts: opening doors and heating vents are the enemy. n Do not let it sit in water. If it is in a decorative sleeve or pot cover, either remove it or punch holes in the bottom for drainage. n Water only when the soil is dry to the touch or, for larger plants, a centimeter below the surface. Fertilize only after the first month if you are not ready to compost it. Use a half strength 20-20-20 solution every two weeks. With all of the attributes that a poinsettia has to recommend it, I propose that we celebrate the poinsettia this season while it helps us celebrate the significance of the Christmas season. As it has for over 150 years. Amaryllis While I am on the topic of great seasonal flowers, I must mention the amaryllis. This is another standout in the gift category that is so often overlooked.

Greater Napanee

Council appoints new BIA members

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

After a sometimes-heated debate, Greater Napanee council elected to appoint eight members to the Business Improvement Area board, and to restrict the number of people permitted to sit on the board moving forward. Council was presented with 12 applications for BIA board members. Before Tuesday’s regular council meeting, the BIA did not have a maximum number of board members allowable to the board. Council was mixed in considering the 12 applications. Some councillors felt a limit should be set to ensure business stayed on track at meetings, while other councillors felt that the more people involved, the better. “There is a minimum but there’s no maximum,” said Ward 5 Councillor Shaune Lucas. “Twelve, plus (Ward 4) Councillor (Carol) Harvey, I think, is

wonderful. We have an interest in the BIA as opposed to not having an interest… I think the proper thing to do is to go forward with the nominations,” argued Lucas, who was one of the 12 individuals who had put their names forward for consideration. However, both Harvey and Ward 2 councillor Max Kaiser said a limit should be set. “My only concern with not having a maximum is that, I’ve sat on boards with 19 and 20 people and it’s primarily non-functioning,” said Kaiser. “I totally agree, I think that if there’s too many it’s just chaos,” added Harvey. Council determined that eight members, plus the council representative and the BIA office manager, would make for an ideal board. “I thank the people that have been on these boards for a long, long time but I’d like to see the BIA committee and some of these other committees do what…

GREEN FROM PAGE 10 An amaryllis is the easiest plant to grow and therefore popular with people of all ages. It travels well (but does not like to be frozen) and will keep in the gift box nicely until Christmas, providing you keep it in a cool place (about five degrees or so below room temperature).

we’re looking at here on council. This was the first year that I’ve been on council that we made appointments for a shorter period of time,” said Deputy Mayor Marg Isbester. She suggested allowing the board to appoint three groups of members: some with a one-year term, some with two years, and some with three years, in order to allow for rotation. “I think it would enhance and encourage some of the new business and building owners to participate,” said Isbester. Initially, Mayor Gord Schermerhorn suggested council allow the BIA to consider the 12 applications and nominate eight members on their own. However, after a disagreement with Lucas, council decided to appoint eight members to the board. “I would suggest that a motion be made, if council wants to do this, to send it back to the BIA and let them make the nomination of eight people. I don’t

Amaryllis is a plant that gives you what you pay for it. There are specimens available for $10 or so and sometimes they are even gift boxed for that price! But they are small-ish bulbs that produce one or two stems of small-ish flowers. In my books, the larger bulbs (28 to 32 cm circumference) are a much better value. They will produce up to three large stems

think we should interfere any more than we have to,” Schermerhorn began. “There is no BIA to go back to. The board has been dissolved,” said Lucas, adding that as of Nov. 30, the BIA board had expired. Lucas added that the BIA was holding a meeting the next day (yesterday) and if council did not make a decision at this meeting then there would be no BIA board to hold a meeting for on Wednesday. “If that’s the way you want to operate — we have done our best to get along with the BIA. In fact, we give the BIA just about anything they wanted. Now surely to God you can form something down there with the old board to send something back,” said Schermerhorn. Changing his mind, he said, “We can appoint the eight,” and Ward 1 councillor Michael Schenk moved that council do so, seconded by Isbester. All councillors except for Lucas were in favour of the motion. The eight members

Trent Severn trio to hit Tamworth stage

BY ASHLEY ESPINOZA Staff Reporter

Stratford-based trio Trent Severn will be making its way to Tamworth in the New Year for a rare performance with brand new music. Emm Gryner, Danya Manning and Laura Bates make up the Canadian folk band that aims to tell historical stories through their music. “We’re three women, all playing our own instruments,” explained Bates. “I play the fiddle, Dayna plays guitar, and Emm plays ukulele bass. And we all play foot percussions. It was our goal to make a show that we don’t need a backup band for — we have all our basis covered and we perform in a three-part harmony.” Trent Severn follows these three guidelines when creating music and performing live: “To show a Canadian audience a really great time, to write songs that touch the hearts and tell the stories of our friends, neighbours and legends, (and) to offer an album that sounds just like the concert,” according to a press release. Bates said Trent Severn takes ideas from fans and forms those stories into songs of their own. They also spend a lot of time researching historical events in order to recreate them through their music. “We have some songwriting rules, like: no mopey love songs about boys. We try to write more historical songs. We also let people mail us suggestions about what we should write about. We have a postcard in our album where people share their

Though the trio sings about historical events, the way they create music could not be more modern. The three women connect by email, sometimes writing complete songs and albums from provinces away. “Dayna was living in Fort St. John, B.C., when we made the first album,” explained Bates. “Sometimes we’re all together, sometimes we’re spread out, but the distance doesn’t affect us. We’re in touch constantly.” Bates said it’s a unique way to make music but it has also made their music more creative and stronger. With each of them living a different life, they are each able to contribute a variety of fresh ideas to the band’s writing. “We do a lot of stuff by

email so it’s a lot of back and forth and mocking up different parts. It’s a very 21st Century kind of way to do music but it’s really compatible with our lives and it’s a fun way to create music,” said Bates. Still, the three women come together in their hometown of Stratford, Ont., to record music. “When we’re together, we become something new; something better,” said Bates. Trent Severn will be performing in Tamworth as part of the 2014-2015 Tamworth & Erinsville Community Development Committee Concert Series. “We’ll play songs from our first album and songs from our second album that we’re working on. There will be a lot of storytelling. Some songs are really lighthearted, about the Canadian experience. We also have some more serious songs such as a Canadian murder ballot about the Steven Truscott story. So we also have a heavier, darker side to our music, as well,” said Bates. Trent Severn will be performing Jan. 10 at the Tamworth Legion. Tickets are $30 each and the show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the Stone Mills Family Market, TCO Agromart, the River Bakery, BON ECO Designs and at the Tamworth Legion.

Santa and Mrs. Claus would like to thank everyone in the Tamworth ʹ Erinsville area for helping make their visit on Sunday, December 7 so wonderful ! The parade floats, the amazing craft sale, the beautiful street decorations, and the 100 boys and girls who came to visit with us at the Legion after the parade truly made us feel the Christmas spirit that is so alive and well in the community.

Czechs, Fins pack Raiders ground Jets with eight-goal barrage plenty of star power Napanee collects pair of home wins to move into second place Exhibition game set for Friday BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

ome of Europe’s top up and coming hockey stars will take to Napanee’s Strathcona Paper Centre ice tomorrow night as Finland meets the Czech Republic in an IIHF World Juniors pre-competition match. Reigning gold medalist Team Finland boasts a preliminary roster of 10 players taken in last year’s NHL draft, including forward Kasperi Kapanen (Pittsburgh Penguins), defenseman Julius Honka (Dallas Stars) and goaltender Juuse Saros (Nashville Predators). Right winger Mikko Rantanen, currently playing for TPS Turku, projects as a top-20 pick in 2015 draft. Seven players are expected to return from last year’s gold medal winning team, which edged Sweden 3-2 in overtime in last year’s final. Hannu Jortikka will serve as bench boss for this talented team. The Czechs aren’t lacking for star power either as their roster has no less than nine players drafted to the NHL. Jakub Vrana (Washington Capitals) and David Pastrnak (Boston Bruins) were both first round draft

picks last year and are expected to lead the team which consists of several top rated prospects. Pavel Zacha, currently playing for the OHL’s Sarnia Sting, projects as a top 10 pick in this year’s draft. Jan Mandat, Vaclav Karabacek and Jan Kostalek are currently with Quebec Major Junior Hockey League clubs while Dominik Masin checks in from the OHL. They’re coached by Miroslav Perost. Puck drop for tomorrow’s sold-out game is 7 p.m. at the SPC. Along with tomorrow’s exhibition game the SPC is also serving as both team’s training camp sites. Both teams are scheduled to host open practices today, with the Czech Republic taking to Goodyear rink at 10:30 a.m. and Finland practicing at 1 p.m. A full practice schedule for both teams is available at www.lennoxaddington.on.ca. All practices are admission free. The Czechs will also play Slovakia in Peterborough next Tuesday while Finland takes on Russia in Oshawa on Sunday in other pre-competition games. The tournament gets underway Dec. 26 in Montreal and Toronto at the Bell Centre and Air Canada Centre.

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

Riding their biggest offensive output in over a month the Napanee Raiders cruised to an 8-2 victory over a shorthanded Amherstview Jets club Tuesday night at the SPC. Jordan Cannons got the ball rolling with a power-play goal 4:40 into the game, his first of two on the night. Offense was spread around as Mitch Pearce, Brandon Nadeau, Keenan Murray, Austin Boulard, Riley Steeves and Cullen Hinds all had singles. “We came out with a lot of jump but I thought we let down when it was 3-0 there at some times with penalties,” said Raiders head coach Mike Hartwick. “They started to mount a bit of a comeback there and made it 3-1 and had some chances on the power-play, but after that in the second period I thought they played quite well.” Dorian Overland scored a power-play goal at the 11:17 mark of the first for the Jets and appeared to have perhaps swung the momentum back in favour of the visitors. That was Amherstview’s only goal on four power-play chances. Though it didn’t show in the final score, the Jets were in the game for the first and second periods before surrendering three

Napanee’s Jordan Cannons uses a backhand to slide the puck into the net for the Raiders’ first goal of an eventual 8-2 win on Tuesday. The Raiders are now deadlocked with the Rebels for second place in the standings. goals in the third. Cameron Parr was solid in net for the Raiders, particularly in the first when he stopped 10 of 11 shots. Overall he turned away 22 Jet shots on the night. “We basically rolled four lines tonight,” said Hartwick. “It was good to see different guys contributing and it was a real-

ly balanced attack.” The eight goals marked the most since they netted 11 back on Nov. 14, and second most of the season. Defenseman Aidan Girduckis suited up for the Raiders after missing some time due to injury. He didn’t figure into the scoresheet but did rack up 12 minutes worth of penalties.

Tuesday’s win was a stark contrast to Sunday’s matinee, when the Raiders needed a little overtime to pull out a 5-4 win over the Picton Pirates. Zach Knapp-Hermer buried the game winner, scoring on a four-on-three power-play at the 2:25 mark.

NDSS Hawks finish as runner-ups in host tournament Girls’ hockey club off to red hot start

BY ADAM PRUDHOMME Staff Reporter

nly a Titan could slow the NDSS girls’ hockey team at their annual Golden Hawks Invitational Tournament, held last Thursday at the Strathcona Paper Centre. After rolling through round robin play the Hawks met Belleville’s St. Theresa Titans in the finals, falling 3-1. The Titans, one of the top ranked high school teams in the province, built a 1-0 lead early and added two more in the third to repeat as Hawks Invitational champions. Brianna Gaffney scored with just under two minutes left in the third for the

Hawks for their lone goal of the game. “We were pretty optimistic only down 1-0 going into the third because we tend to get better as the game goes on,” said Hawks coach Matt Campeau. “(St. Theresa’s) were deep and disciplined and skated hard and didn’t make too many mistakes.” Despite running into a tough defense the Hawks continued to battle the whole game, finally making some progress in the third with some quality shots. Their best chance to get back in the game may have come in the second when, only down 1-0 at the time, they were awarded a power-play. “They don’t quit, the strength of the team is the skating and compete level,” said Campeau. “They were going for it right until the end. That’s a disciplined team, we lost to a good team.”

In round robin the Hawks saw little resistance, cruising passed the Frontenac Falcons, East Northumberland Blue Dragons and Moira Trojans by lopsided scores to win their pool. Veterans Gaffney, Abby deHaan and Logan Conger were offensive threats the entire tournament while rookies Rayanne West, Kaitlyn Hearns and Anna Murphy each scored their first high school goals. Sara Kennedy and Izzy McDonald shared goaltending duties throughout the day. Though they came up short in their own tournament, Campeau says playing a top ranked team like the Titans will only benefit them moving forward as they return to KASSAA play. “It’s good to play good teams, it’s the only way you improve,” he added.

The Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s IDA Minor Atom A Stars returned to action last Saturday to face Whitby Blue. The Stars had a tough outing against the number one team in the division, losing the match 3-0. Sunday the Stars played Kingston looking to even the score having lost their only other match up this season. Daniel Chase scored in the first, with the help of excellent offence from Ethan Sutcliffe and Jake Wood. Late in the second, Kingston tied the game. Heading into the third, the Stars benefited from excellent defensive play from Will Myers and Ty Kemp. Aiden HallerBrady notched Napaneeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second goal to give the Stars a 2-1 lead heading in the third. In the final minute, Kingston pulled their goalie to add the extra attacker and unfortunately with 12 seconds left was able to tie the evenly matched game. On Saturday they play in Pickering, and are home Sunday to Cobourg at 1:30 p.m. n The Major Atoms played two road games beginning Saturday with Whitby White. In the second, the hosts opened the scoring at the six minute mark and added

two more in the period while the Stars were two men short on questionable calls. In the final stanza the Stars netted one when Logan Lalande scored on a back hand. Two minutes later the locals were able to get to within one when Ben Albright beat the goalie high in the top corner. With their goaltender out for an extra attacker the Stars pressured Whitby, but could not get one past the netminder. Assisting on the Starsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goals were Mason Arthur (two), and Ethan Martin. On Sunday they were in Uxbridge to face the number one ranked team in Ontario. The Stars dominated from the start, and at the three minute mark, Reid Lambert beat the Uxbridge goalie to take the lead. With a minute remaining in the opening period Lambert scored his second when he picked up a loose puck in the slot, and beat the tender low blocker side. Uxbridge were able to get within one, but the Stars continued the period with a strong forecheck that created offensive opportunities. In the final period the Stars were the dominating team firing 12 shots on net and hitting a series of posts, but the 2-1 lead was enough to bring home two

points. Assisting on Lambert's goals were Lalande and Quinton Pierce each with a pair. This was a great bounce back game for the team defense anchored by goaltender Ryan Aldridge. n Last weekend, the Novice A Country Traditions Stars went to the Oshawa Hockeyfest tournament. They started with a win, 4-1 against Clarington, with all shorthanded goals by Zered Haller. Assists went to Jayden Holden, Caleb South, Luke Jarmin and Karter Vermilyea. Facing Cobourg, they lost 4-0 in a very hard battled game. Then the flu hit the team knocking out the goalie. Ethan Boutilier stepped into the net for Game 3 against the Cumberland Grads. It was a loss although Boutilier and the boys played great. n The Firelight Major Bantams moved firmly into second place in Lakeshore on a six game win streak. Friday they played their second game against Kingston, expecting a victory, but the Canadians came to play. After a scoreless first, Nelson Powers roofed one from on the doorstep, for the locals. Brendan Hagerman and Steven Shea assisted on the play. An unlucky bounce led to the Canadians knotting the score at one. In the third, Powers set up Eric Joyner at the point, and his shot found the net. Powers chased down a Napanee dump out to go in alone for a 3-1 win. Campbell McEwen and Kiel Benton tallied assists. Goalie Bailey Maracle made important stops to help secure the win.

Sunday in Ajax, they faced a team that was tied with them for second place in the division. Shea got his first of two after a strong forecheck by Hagerman. Shea set up Hagerman to make it 2-0. After the Knights staged a two goal comeback, the Firelight boys regained the lead briefly on Sheaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backhand past the goalie, before Ajax got another. Hagerman got the winner when the Ajax goalie mishandled his attempted clear. Benton added an empty net tally, when he dumped the puck down ice, with feeds from Joyner and Ryan McLay. Finn Pierce was solid in goal for the locals. n The McCaw Mortgage team MD7s hosted Clarington last Saturday in a tight game. Mason Goodfellow scored their lone goal, set up by Blake Wood in a 3-1 loss. In Whitby on Sunday, their offense was clicking, but they fell 9-4. n The Chiropractic.com Minor Peewees had three close contests on the road this past weekend, but have nothing to show for their efforts. On Friday, they were shut out on the road by Port Perry 3-0. Saturday they were in Whitby, and their hosts doubled up on the Stars 4-2. Still on the road Sunday, this time in Kingston, the boys deserved a better outcome, but were edged 2-1. n After a tie in their last contest against Quinte West, the Napanee Midgets faced a talented Ajax squad, currently second in the Lakeshore League with only three losses. The locals made a solid accounting of themselves, but could not generate offense losing 4-0.

BELIEVE IT? How do Canadians know if it’s true (or not)? They turn to the trusted source: Newspapers in print, online, tablet and phone. And, research finds that they trust the ads there too – more than those in any other medium. Be where Canadians look.

Dickson rink claims NDCC’s Monday night league ‘A’ draw Curling club awarded Ontario Trillium Foundation grant to rebuild ice compressor

BY SANDY EASTLAKE On the Button

Merry Christmas to all from the Napanee and District Curling Club. As we head into the holidays, here’s a list of the draw winners. In the Monday night men’s league the A winner was – Robert Dickson, Ryan Rowe, Bryce Rowe, Scott Dickson and Runner up – Robert Paul, Stephen Paul, Robert Hough, Michael Stockfish. B – Darrell Scott, Guy Johnson, Keegan Scott,

Bob St John; Runner up – Don Currier, Kirk Donald, Al Thompson, Rome Dorval; C – Barton MacLean, Paul Spooner, Ray Taylor, Jim Kennelly. Runner up – Jackson Ryan, Nathan Elliot, Scott Mills, John Ryan, Chris McKeown. The Tuesday mixed first draw winners were Andy Palmer, Cathy Palmer, Jane Pearson, Bonnie McTaggart with Runner up Hugh Sharpe, Heather Ramshaw, Gary Thompson, Sue Sharpe.

The Thursday night mens had Jim Mullin, Murray Halliday, Craig Manley and Scott Laidman winning with Doug Pennell, Scott Webber, Ed Kurc and Rome Dorval placing a close second. The rest of the leagues are still battling out their last game to determine their winning teams. The Napanee and District Curling club has been awarded an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant to rebuild the ice plant compressor, which will increase

the ice quality for members and visitors, and to build a shed to store furniture, which will maximize the capacity of the lounge when hosting community events or club activities. An event presentation will be held in the new year. NDSS' teams curled their best in Stirling last weekend. Napanee's boys team of Keegan Scott, Caleb Posterski, Joey Botting, Austin Dunham and Jake Anderson curled well but lost in an extra end in the B Finals while the girls

team of Briena Tofflemeyer, Hailey Duffy, Natalie Scilley, Emma Collard and Shannon McKinney had great games but did not proceed to the finals. Thanks to Steve Eastlake, the club's OCA rep the Grandmasters zone playdowns are well under way and finishing up tomorrow. Steve thanked Sandy Eastlake and Gail Maracle for morning goodies and a delicious lunch on Friday Monday 15 and Jim Stapley and Don Currier for great ice.

Members who forgot to sign up for the skips training or if they want assistance on Sunday, Jan. 4 its not too late so please call me so I can ensure an instructor is on the premises. In January, the club is planning a new league on Sunday evenings for new curlers. This league will be open to novice or rookie curlers and we are hoping for a good turnout so watch for advertisements in the new year in The Napanee Beaver.

Austin Boulard of the Napanee Raiders collects stuffed animals during the team’s annual Teddy Bear Toss, held Sunday at the SPC. row night for a 7:30 p.m. puck drop and will host them on Dec. 30 to close out the year. For scoring the teddy bear toss goal, Murphy is the Lennox and Addington Milk Producers Raider of the Week. Deseronto is coming off a rough weekend in which they dropped an 11-1 home game against Port Hope on

Friday and a 10-4 decision in Campbellford. Mitchell Thompson had the lone goal on Friday while Brett Maracle, Jeff Hoey, Tryston Teichman and Tyson O'Toole scored in Saturday's loss. The Storm will play Port Hope on Saturday between their two Raider match ups to close out the 2014 portion of their schedule. They are 1-25 on the season.

TRY TR Y IT WEEK! JANUAR ARY Y 5TH – 9TH Tuesday January 6

Napanee was playing catch up for most of the game, falling behind 2-0 in the first. Kyle Murphy got the Raiders on the board late in the first, igniting an avalanche of teddy bears with his goal, as fans tossed stuffed animals onto the ice which were donated to local kids this holiday season. Murphy finished the game with two goals. Murray and Austin Boulard each had one. Boulard’s goal at the 14:30 mark of the third looked like it might be the difference, as it gave the Raiders a 4-3 lead with just over five minutes to play. Former Raider Taylor Brown had other ideas, scoring just 17 seconds later to help set up the extra frame. Brown finished with two goals on the day. With their pair of wins the Raiders now sport an identical 15-10-1 record as the Campbellford Rebels. Both clubs sit second, six points back of the 18-5-1 Port Hope Panthers, who also hold two games in hand over both teams. Amherstview sits fourth with a 14-12 mark while Picton is on the outside of the playoff picture with a 13-13-1 record and 25 points. Napanee has just two games left to play in 2014, both against the last place Deseronto Storm. They travel to Deseronto tomor-

I may only be eight years old and in Grade 3 but I’m confident that I’ll be a great Head Elf. If I have to be a good listener, then at karate I got a stripe on my orange belt just because I was listening to sensei’s instructions. If I have to be a good problem solver then I’m extremely confident that it’s my job because it’s my favourite type of math. I like problem solving with a hard problem and I always get the answer right. You might think I’m too young for this job but if you read my letter again you will see why I’m extremely confident that I’m the best for the Head Elf job. Luke You may think an eightyear-old boy from Napanee applying for the designer elf job is crazy but I am confident I am perfect for the job. I believe I can sew and knit. For example, I can sew my own beanbag. I am certain I can be creative enough for you. For example, I can make a plain old cardboard box into a space travelling spaceship. I am convinced I am perfect for this job because I like red, white and green. The colours I mostly use are red, white and green. I believe the designer elf must love stripes and dots. I love them. I use stripes and dots when I am creating borders around my work. I am confident I am perfect for the designer elf job. Ethan To Santa, I am confident I will be awesome at being the next caretaker elf. Here are some reasons why I should have this job. I don’t mind the smell of horse manure. I went to horse camp for a week and Sky did her business when I was riding her. The smell didn’t bother me at all. I am confident I will be a good caretaker elf because I love feeding my fish and anytime I see a animal I want to help it. I am great for this job because I play soccer a lot so I don’t mind running at all. I am certain I will love this job because I love brushing animals. At horse camp you had to brush the horse before you rode it. See, I can be the caretaker elf. Macy I believe I’ll be the best security elf the North Pole has ever had. First, the security elf must be honest. I am an elf so I never lie. Second, the security elf must be a team player. I am a team player. For example, I play soccer all the time and I never let my team down. Every time I play I work to get the ball and shoot on the net. Lastly, the security elf must be alert. Being alert is easy for me because I play army games. I hide in the back of my

dad’s truck waiting for the other team to attack. This is why I must be the best security elf. Austin You may think an eightyear-old from Napanee applying for the caretaker elf job is crazy but I am convinced that I am the right person for the job. First of all, the caretaker elf must like running. I go jogging with my brother. I love running. Secondly, the caretaker elf must not mind the smell of a barn. My neighbour has a barn and he had two horses before he gave them away. I have been in his barn and it smelled and I did not mind. In closing, that is why you should hire me for the caretaker elf job. Cameron Dear Santa, You probably believe that an eight- (almost nine) year-old girl from the country trying to get the decorator elf job is crazy, but I am absolutely confident that I will be the perfect elf for the job. First of all, if I need a good sense of style, you’re on! I always get compliments for my outfits, jewelry, and decorations. Plus, if I don’t look cute I go crazy looking for an outfit. Secondly, if I must be able to hook decorations securely, I always use my hand to make sure that nothing falls down or off whatever it is hanging from. I will never let a single decoration fall or break. Next, I will definitely be able to reach high places. This is because my Grandma always says I’m a tall girl, and I am always either the second tallest or tallest in my class. Lastly, if I must love glitter, I am the best elf for the job. I always (unless I can’t or am getting messy) have something sparkly on my outfit. Also, my dream elf name screams my love for glitter. ‘Sparkle Glitter Balls’, what could be more perfect? That is why I am absolutely convinced that I will be the perfect decorator elf. Sincerely, Charlotte

I believe an eight-year old looking for a caretaking elf job seems a bit out of control but I am certain that I can go for it. Here are some reason why I think I can go for it. First of all, I love animals. I am definitely confident that I love animals because I have two of them, and I love them so so so much. Secondly, I love running. I am certain that I love running because I chase after my dog all the time. In conclusion, these are the reasons why I should get the care taking elf job. Claire Hi Santa, My name is Emma. I want to be a baker elf. If you need to be convinced I will convince you. Here I go. First, I must like measuring and I do. When my daddy makes a cake he does not measure the ingredients and I tell him to. That is why I usually make the cakes. Next I must like chocolate and I do. At my birthday I couldn’t choose chocolate or vanilla cupcakes and so I picked both. Third, I must like rolling out dough and I do. When we play playdough I like to roll out the play dough. That is why I should be the baker elf. Emma I am convinced I am the best person to do the security elf job. First of all, I am a very strong kid. I took down a very very very strong guy, so I am confident I can take down anyone trying to break into the North Pole. Secondly, I believe the security elf needs to like hot chocolate because they need to stay awake and stay warm while working. But I don’t like it, I love it! Also, elves and people love snow and icicles. Well since I am an elf, I love snow and icicles. Whenever I see an icicle I want to eat it. I believe I am going to be an extremely good security elf. Jackson

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Thursday, December 18, 2014 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> I am applying for the caretaking elf. First of all, this elf must not mind the smell of a barn. I do not mind bad smells because I live by a swamp. Next, this elf must love to run. I have a big property and I run around it every day. Third, this elf must love animals. I have two dogs and one cat. I also have a leopard gecko. Finally, this elf must like taking care of animals. Taga bit Socksyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paw and almost broke it, so I pulled Taga away and put a cast on Socksy. In closing, this is why I should be hired to be the caretaker elf. Jamieson I am confident that I can do the caretaker elf job. First of all, the caretaker elf must love animals. I love animals. I feed animals morning and night. I will take care of them when they are hurt. The caretaker elf must not mind the smell of a barn. I will use a clothespin on my nose so I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smell anything. Also, you must like running to do this job. I play tag and run all recess long. Clearly, your animals need my help. Love, Julie I am convinced I will be the best gift-wrapping elf. To be a good gift-wrapping elf you must be able to use scissors. I like to use scissors a lot. I even tidy up after I have used scissors and clean up all of the tiny little pieces of the floor. Also, the giftwrapping elf must be a good measurer. I practice measuring at my house all the time. In addition, this elf must have good sense of style. I do because all of my stuff is stylish. My backpack matches my coat. It is all beautiful. I am confident that I will be the best gift wrapping elf. Kalli

convinced I can do the running part because when I run after my dog it is actually pretty fun. That is why I think I believe that I am the perfect elf for this job. Love, Snowball (aka Maya) I believe you should hire me for the caretaker elf job. First, love to run. I run all day if I want to. For example I play football, soccer and lacrosse and run non-stop playing these games. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not even tired after the game. Secondly, I love animals. I have 10 cats and I love them all and I love dogs too. I am convinced you should hire me. Nicholas I am convinced that I am the right person to be the toy tester elf. First of all, the toy tester elf must enjoy playing with a wide variety of toys. I definitely do. I have cars, I an XBox and a hockey net. In addition, I must be able to put toys together. I help dad put together things all the time. He says I am a good helper. I must clean up toys as the toy tester elf. I help mommy and daddy clean up toys. Finally, I must be able to read instructions. I look at the pictures and put Lego together easily. I believe that I am the right person to be the toy tester elf. Noah Dear Santa, I am confident that I will be perfect the designer elf. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why. First of all, you need someone who knows how to knit. I have knitted half a scarf before. I love to knit. Secondly, the designer elf has to like jingle bells. When I was bored I sung jingle bells all the time. I still sing jingle bells. Those are

N A PA N E E

the reasons I think I should be elf. Sincerely, Olivia I hope to be your new security elf. The security elf must like hot chocolate. I love hot chocolate. After going outside the security elf must be alert. Even when I am sleeping I am watching. I hear really good and wake up right away. I am convinced that I can be a good security elf. Obviously, the security elf must be strong. I am strong because I fight my brother and hang upside down on a bar in my basement. The security elf must be a team player. I work hard with my friends always. I am the best person for this job. Quentin

Also I am extremely good at listening. I always look at the person who is talking. I must be a good delegator and I am certain I am because I tell my soccer team how to play.

Cornerstone students write about Christmas story What is the true meaning of Christmas? The true meaning of Christmas is not about Santa Claus and presents. It is about celebrating Jesus. A long time ago, an angel came to Mary in the night and told her that she was going to give birth to a son and she was to name

him Jesus. When Mary told her fiancé Joseph, he was not happy. In the night, the same angel came to Joseph and told him what he told Mary. Then they traveled to Bethlehem to find a inn to stay for the night, but when they got there, there was no room for them to stay except for the stable. During the night it was time for Jesus

to be born. After Jesus was born, some shepherds came to the stable and worshipped him. A couple of years later, three wise men followed a star (some people call it the Christmas Star) and brought him gold, frankincense and myrrh. Jesus is the true meaning of Christmas!

CRAVENS AUTO BODY

On Christmas, we go to my Nana’s and read the Christmas story which is Jesus being born in a stable to save us from our sins. He grew up as a sinless man and died on a cross so that we could go to heaven to be with God. After that, we open gifts. Next, we eat an amazing Christmas dinner which usually has ham, turkey, vegetables, potatoes, coleslaw and buns. Before we eat, my Uncle Darryl or my Dad prays. Then we eat our dinner. After we eat we go home and put on the new pajamas that we always get from my Nana. After I see what time it is and it is usually is 4 or 5 in the morning I go back to bed I also tell my sister to go back to bed. At 8 a.m. we start to open up our presents, but they are never better than the

gift God gave us. He sent his one and only son to come save us from our sins. That is a gift worth remembering. Those are some of my Christmas traditions. Chloe, Grade 8 The Special Night I’m the owner of The Spencer Inn in Bethlehem. A couple came; I heard their names were Mary and Joseph. They came and asked if they could stay in a room for the night. I said, “No, sorry, we are all full, but I have a stable that you guys could stay in.” I took them to the stable and there were donkeys, sheep, chickens and roosters. “We’ll take it,” said Mary and Joseph. Then they unpacked and laid in the stable. Mary gave birth to baby Jesus and laid baby Jesus in a manger. Suddenly, shepherds and other people came and worshipped baby Jesus. It was extremely busy at the stable. I got noise complaints from the people in the hotel. Then I realized that I had the true king in my stable, and I felt honoured. Spencer, Grade 7 Christmas The

Wishing all of our family, friends and loyal customers a Very Happy Holiday Season!

Christ is a movie that is about the life of Jesus. His birth was in a manger with animals all around him with angels and shepherds and later, wise men came bearing gold, frankincense and myrrh to help the baby Jesus. Jesus in his lifetime preached to many people and told many parable to get the message out to all the people of the world. The gospel is about God coming to save the world from sin and His death for us on the cross to forgive us our sins. That is The Passion of the Christ, which is the true meaning of Christmas Brosnan, Grade 7 The Christmas Story Every year, my family reads the story about the one true king. The true king is Jesus. The story is about how an angel came down to greet a young woman named Mary. The angel told Mary she was going to give birth to Jesus, the one true king. When her fiancé Joseph found out she was expecting, he was furious. W h e n

Joseph calmed down, the took they’re donkey and traveled to Bethlehem and when they finally came to Bethlehem they found an inn. Under the circumstances, the inn was full. Unfortunately, they had to give birth to Jesus in a stable. When Jesus was born, it was the best gift of all. Later in life, Jesus’ went through life with temptation but He never sinned. Jesus died on the cross for us even when we didn’t deserve it. He paid for our sins so we could go to heaven. Baby Jesus had visitors; the shepherds were the first visitors. Then some wise men came bearing gifts such as gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Christmas isn’t about always getting even though it’s fun to open gifts. Still, Jesus is the one gift we can always receive. Victoria, Grade 7

Holy Name of Mary students tell the Christmas story There was a Baby named Jesus. He was born in Bethlehem. He was born on Christmas. Jesus was born in a stable. Mary and Joseph travelled to Bethlehem. Gage, Gr. 1 Jesus was born. He was born on Christmas. Jesus is Baby God. Mary and Joseph were happy. Shepherds came to see Baby Jesus. Toby, Gr. 1 The Angel Gabriel said, “You are going to have a Baby.” Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem and Mary had a Baby called Jesus. The angel said a Baby was born in Bethlehem to the shepherds. Later on, some wise men were riding on their camels studying the stars. Suddenly a big star was moving. They followed it until it stopped under a small stable. They gave Him gold, frankincense and myrrh and the shepherds gave Him soft sheep’s wool to keep Him warm. Jackson, Gr. 2 Joseph and Mary were travelling. It was time for Jesus to be born. “The time is here,” said Mary. There was no room in the inn so Jesus was born in a manger. There were animals and shepherds. Three kings came to see Jesus and brought Him presents. Mary was so delighted to see how thankful the kings were for her Baby. Elodie, Gr. 1

The wise men came to see the new Baby. The angel went to tell Mary that Jesus wanted her to be His mom and Mary said, “Yes, I will be Your Mom and have God’s Baby.” The shepherds were looking after their sheep. The angel told them that there was a new baby born. They saw the star. They followed it and found the baby. Zoe, Gr. 1 Christmas is a very important day. It is the day Jesus was born. First, the Angel Gabriel told Mary that she was to have a Baby. Mary was very excited! She went to her cousin, Elizabeth and then they went to Bethlehem. It was filled up. Jesus had to be born in a stable. Brendan, Gr. 2 Mary and Joseph had to go back to Bethlehem because Joseph was born there. Jesus was born on Christmas in a stable. It was night time and the stars were bright. Kevin, Gr. 2 There were two shepherds looking after their sheep and they saw a star over a stable house and they followed it. Then they saw a Baby and His name was Jesus. Dorothy, Gr. 2 Jesus has His Birthday on Christmas. Mary is His Mom and Joseph watches the Baby when Mary goes to get some food. Teagan, Gr. 1

Jesus was born in a stable because there was no room in the inn. Mary and Joseph were with Jesus. The star in the sky was over the manger. The wise men followed the star to get to Jesus. Jesus was going to be our King. Griffin, Gr. 1 One day Jesus was born in a stable. His Mom and dad were around Him. They were so glad that the Angel Gabriel told them that Mary was going to have a Baby named Jesus. Mary was scared at first but then the Angel Gabriel told Mary that she was to have a Baby and she loved God so much that she said, “Yes.” Brenna, Gr. 2 Jesus was born in a stable and at Bethlehem. Jesus was going to be hunted by King Herod. So Jesus, Mary and Joseph went to Egypt. Gavin, Gr. 2 Joseph bought a donkey. Joseph went to Bethlehem with Mary to find a house. No houses were empty. An adult said, “Stay Here.” Mary was happy to stay here in a stable. Jesus was born on Christmas Day. It was so happy for Mary and Joseph. Shepherds and three wise men and all of the animals gave love to Jesus. Some people went to see Baby Jesus. Jesus grew up. He died on the cross and He rose from the dead. Callum, Gr. 2 The Angel Gabriel told Mary,

“You are going to have the Baby Jesus.” Mary said, “Yes.” So Joseph took Mary to Bethlehem to have the Baby. There were no places to stay. There was a stable. They had the Baby there. Then a star was in the air. Then the angel came to the shepherds. Then the shepherds went to the stable. Next the wise men saw the star and the wise men went to the Jesus and brought Him a present. The shepherds gave the Baby Jesus a present too. Keegan, Gr. 2 The angel told Mary she was to have a Baby. She left

home with Joseph. They needed a place to stay. Jesus was born in a stable. Madalyne, Gr. 1 Every December, in Christmas, we celebrate Jesus’ Birthday. God picked someone to be the mother of Jesus. Not any person but a special person who believes In God. God picked Mary. Mary was her name. Mary believed in God. The Angel Gabriel told Mary that she would be the Mother of Jesus. Mary was happy and surprised. One day, Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem to find a place to stay. They found a manger. Mary was delighted that the kings

were so nice to bring Jesus presents when He was born. Emma-Leigh, Gr. 2 Mary and Joseph said God is the Father of Jesus. They went to Bethlehem to have the Baby. The wise men went to give Him presents. Christopher, Gr. 1 Mary was going to have a Baby and His name was Jesus. He was born in a stable because there was no place to stay. Jesus’ birth was important because He was going to King. The wise men came to see the Baby Jesus and brought Him gifts. Noah, Gr. 2

Time-saving tips for the holidays ITH so much on our plates around Christmas and New Year’s Day, the holiday season can be hectic. Fortunately, there are many ways to save time and make the holiday season more manageable.

n If you don’t have plastic clips to hang lights around windows and to the eaves of your home, inexpensive clothespins will work just as well. If you’re concerned about the colour of the wooden clips, paint them holiday hues before stringing the lights. n Put a bath mat, rug-side down and rubber-side up, beneath your Christmas tree stand. This allows you to spin the tree as you hang lights and ornaments without damaging the floor underneath. It also makes it simple to undress the tree once the season is over. Use a tree skirt to hide the mat. n Squeeze artificial tree portions into concrete form tubes. First wrap the tree portions in twine and then slip them into the concrete sleeves. Each tube can be stowed in attic or garage rafters, freeing up precious space. n Use empty squirt bottles to make baking and cooking easier. Pancake and cookie batters can be squirted from the containers for less mess.

n Store one or two strings of lights in a plastic shopping bag to keep the strands from getting tangled. Hang the bags from a hook in a garage or stack them in a storage bin. n Use plastic zip ties to attach garland and lights to bannisters. They’re easy to assemble and will not damage the bannisters. n A paper towel holder can be screwed to the wall in a craft room to neatly hold spools of ribbon. Simply pull the length you need from the spool and cut for easy decorating. n Mount a tree stand to a piece of wood with screws or glue. This prevents spills from reaching the floor while stabilizing the tree. n Old maps make interesting gift wrap and are a nice change of pace from commercially produced paper or newsprint. n Wrap duct tape or another type of sticky tape around your hand. Pat over fallen pine needles that accumulate around the tree. In hard-to-reach areas, wrap the tape around a broom or a floor sweeper. n When traveling for the holidays, use a brightly coloured suitcase or flashy tape to make your suitcase stand out from others at the airport. n Place hardened brown sugar

in a baking dish, cover it with a moist paper towel and either microwave it on high for 20-second intervals or place it in a 300F oven for five minutes. This will soften the sugar, making it easier to use the sugar to prepare your favorite holiday cookie recipes. n Save plastic bread ties, which can be used to make tags for the wires on certain devices. Such ties also can be used to organize decorating components and to keep your place on a roll of tape. n Measure the inside of your picture window and construct a wooden frame to its dimensions. Staple holiday lights to the frame and then easily slip the frame in and out of place each year. n Hang a live wreath or some boughs of evergreen in your home to give it that fresh pine scent if you have an artificial tree. n Colour-code storage containers so you can easily find holiday decorations in the attic or basement. n Pack for a holiday excursion using a collapsible clothing storage hanger for closets. Fold clothes on each fabric shelf and then collapse it into your suitcase. When you get to your destination, unfold and hang it in a closet so all of your clothes will be at the ready.

A few simple strategies can help you save time and reduce stress this holiday season.

Strategies to fight calories during festive season The holiday season is dominated by parties, family gatherings and festive foods. Overindulgence in rich foods and drink during the holiday season, compounded by cold weather that can make it difficult to exercise, often leads to weight gain by the end of the holiday season. But focusing on diet and exercise during the holiday season can help you avoid

unwanted weight gain and provide more energy as the season progresses. The following are some effective ways to sail through the season without gaining weight. n Don’t scrimp and sacrifice all of the time. The body is a powerful machine, but it does not always work the way that we want it to. According to nutritional

experts, rather than metabolizing food on a daily basis, the body is geared to work over longer periods of time. That means you can balance out a high-calorie day by eating less food and/or lighter fare on the days before and after those days when you anticipate overeating. n Fill up before you go out. If you are worried about highcalorie foods and drinks that

are often served at parties or holiday gatherings, eat before going to the event. Hunger may cause you to overeat and fill up on the wrong kinds of foods. Instead, eat a low-calorie snack that’s high in protein and high in fiber before leaving the house. n Get plenty of sunshine when possible. Lack of sunlight can attribute to winter

blues, which may lead some people to rely on comfort foods. Such foods are typically rich in carbohydrates, fats and sugars. Spending time

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> n Fill up your plate with the right mix of foods. Don’t deny yourself when faced with a big holiday dinner. Rather, fill the plate with a good mix of foods. Devote more space to lean proteins, such as roasted turkey or chicken. Even lean ham is good. Devote much of the rest of your plate to roasted vegetables and whole grains. Take only small portions of high-fat foods like candied yams or bread stuffings. You will still satisfy your craving, but you won’t be overdoing it.

May all your hopes and dreams come true this Christmas.

n Skip the spirits for the most part. Alcoholic beverages are loaded with empty calories. Many people would rather reserve bonus calories for a piece of pie or a rich brownie. Limit yourself to one drink per day. n Exercise every day. It can be easy to push exercise aside when you're busy with holiday tasks. But soon your metabolism may slow down in response to your body's suddenly more sedentary lifestyle, leading to weight gain. Aim for some sort of daily exercise, whether you decide park further

away from stores at the mall or take the stairs instead of the escalator. Don’t relegate exercise to a New Year's resolution. Inactivity will only mean you have to work harder in the future to shed those unwanted pounds you packed on during the holiday season. Weight gain may be another part of the holiday season for many men and women. But individuals concerned about adding extra pounds can stop the pattern of gaining weight during the holiday season by making smart choices throughout the season.

Grape Roquefort Canapés (NC) Make it look like you pulled out all the stops this holiday season by adding savoury grape bites to your appetizer lineup. No matter whether you’re the party host or bringing an appetizer to a potluck gathering, these little canapés look impressive, but they’re simple to make. Grapes and cheese are a perfect pair and the toasted nuts add just the right finish. Grape Roquefort Canapés 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup crumbled Roquefort or other blue cheese, at room temperature 1/4 cup heavy cream
